As 2021 slowly comes to an end, Microsoft is celebrating a new year with its annual Xbox Countdown Sale. From now until January 3, you can save more than 50% on hundreds of games in the Xbox catalog – including hits such as It Takes Two, Cyberpunk 2077, Battlefield 2042 and more.

But with over 1,000 items currently discounted, hunting down the best deals can be overwhelming. If you’re looking to stock up on new games before 2022 rolls around, consider checking out some of our favorite titles on sale during the Xbox Countdown Sale 2021.

Xbox Countdown Sale Highlights

Life is Strange: True Colors

Nominated in several categories at The Game Awards 2021, Life is Strange: True Colors is without a doubt one of the best releases of the year. True Colors is a narrative adventure game that sees you stepping into the shoes of Alex Chen, who is searching for the truth about her brother’s death. The task is made more complicated due to her psychic power of Empathy, and it’s a journey that you should absolutely check out over the holidays. Thanks to the Xbox Countdown Sale, it’s available for a great price.

Psychonauts 2

As one of the best prices we’ve seen since launch, Psychonauts 2 is a steal at this price. The second entry in Raz’s journey to become a full-fledged Psychonaut is filled with enjoyable platforming, a heart-warming story and enough collectibles to keep you playing well into 2022. The fact that it’s already discounted during the Xbox Countdown Sale is certainly lucky.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy

Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the most surprising games of the year. In fact, it went on to win Best Narrative at The Game Awards and stands as one of the best superhero games currently on the market. If you were left disappointed by Marvel’s Avengers, consider ringing in the new year with Star-Lord and his band of lovable misfits.

Cyberpunk 2077

CD Projekt Red dropped the ball with Cyberpunk 2077‘s launch, but 2022 is finally looking to be a strong year for the open-world RPG. Several patches have already fixed most of the big performance issues, and an impending next-gen update should finally give us the game we’ve been waiting for. And its price during the Xbox Countdown Sale is an appropriate one to buy this game at.

It Takes Two

It Takes Two is easily the best co-op game we’ve seen in the past few years. In fact, it managed to snag the title of Game of the Year during The Game Awards 2021. If you’ve yet to enjoy the cooperative title, you can pick it up for its lowest price ever during the Xbox Countdown Sale.
